Northampton Town v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 01.05.21

[Bennys_was_a_mob]

Quality performance. Did what they had to

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Great result for us today, still need a point from our last two games, on to Tuesday

 

[BFCPaul]

Annoying it's not over - keep them on their toes on Tuesday, get the draw and a rest on Saturday.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Bloody ell, can't believe Lincoln threw it away.

Legitimately thought they'd nick 2nd when they were 3 up.

 

[glasshalffull]

A very hard working and professional performance in the end after a slow start.
Very solid defensively, and just enough up front to get on top.

 

[Scaramanga]

Well that was comfortable in the end. A point does it from 2 games, on to Tuesday lads

...Ahead of the game on Sunday

 

[Matesrates]

Very satisfactory

 

[Halifax71]

Job done with an average performance. Hopefully that gives Jerry his mojo back.

Charlton effectively can't catch us, so it's just Oxford. Rest done players where possible and get the point.

 

[TangerinePeel]

That is play-offs pretty much secured now.

Testament to these lads, those two losses on the bounce could have absolutely rattled them and they've recovered marvellously.

 

[southshorepool]

My word you're intelligent...NOT!

I'm brighter than you. Fact!!

 

[TangerinePeel]

Feel for Evo, couldn't be happier for these lot though

[Macseasider]

Fantastic.

Northampton were really poor but we were professional and way way way too much for them.

Jezza won't score 2 easier goals!

 

[dodgy_surname]

Critch is finding his feet, first full season in management. I’m happy ️️

 

[JJpool]

Great result, not a great watch on that pitch but grew into the game.

Really happy to see Anderson back and also Ekpiteta.

Fantastic to have some options lefts hope Ward and Kaikai are there soon also.

Great to see Holmes, think he needs more time to get a fair crack and see what he can do.

Can't believe Anderson is back so soon after the op, didn't look like we'd see him again this season, great option for the playoffs and can be a real talent.

Scroat central - ace!

 

[voyeur]

Lincoln fans apoplectic. Must feel wretched that.

 

[TangerinePeel]

No Yates thumbs up pic due to social media blackout

 

[TangerinePeel]

Lincoln fans apoplectic. Must feel wretched that.

Hopefully rattled 'em

I'm brighter than you. Fact!!

Sadly not, you can only dream of my success.

I don’t feel for any of them. Hilarious

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

 

[Hadley]

Think we’ll be too strong for them and they will be relegated on their own patch. 3-0 Pool.

Decent prediction fellow avftt'ers

 

[Halifax71]

Apparently the posh pen is a quality dive.

Gutted for Evo

Good

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

Damn shame about them late Oxford and Charlton goals....now we still need a point.

 

[Scaramanga]

Damn shame about them late Oxford and Charlton goals....now we still need a point.

Not necessarily , they both might balls it up anyway. Just win on Tuesday and we can rest players in the last game.

 

[CestrianSeasider]

It's pretty much done and dusted. Just a point from either Donny or Bristol Rovers. A quality quality season all round.

Who do we want in the play offs? Got to be one of whoever finishes 6th out of Pompey or Oxford (unlikely to be Charlton).

Didn’t dare post on here during the match as I had problems early with buffering & never saw Garbutts goal, then I reduced the quality to 360 & it was ok even the picture was better. First time I’ve watched a game on the tablet tethered from my phone. Good win. Hope the injured players come back soon though. Unfortunately for Robson that could be his last game this season.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

[Ragnarok]

Wonder if fans will be allowed to the play off home game and final if we make it

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Haha impressive ... is this the what you ended up with?!

 

[rease4]

Could not have turned out much better, Robson going off the exception. Great performance, Yates ending barren spell, 3 up at exactly the right time for the subs, classy and relaxing end of game. Great performance. Great day.

 

[td53]

Lovely stuff.

 

[southshorepool]

1 point from 6. If we mess that up, we don't deserve to be anywhere near the play offs. I happen to think we may end up 3rd.

 

[TangerinePeel]

That win is made even sweeter by the results around us.

Pressure would have seriously been on.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Why is there a picture of sheltered accommodation on this thread?

 

[hertfordseasider]

I think we are there now myself.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Wonder if fans will be allowed to the play off home game and final if we make it

I heard 4000 will be allowed

 

[Hertsseasider]

Tremendous result today. Well done Pool

 

[Walnut]

We defo need that point. Two 1-0 defats and an Oxford and Portsmouth win would see us miss out.

 

[Loco]

Sadly not, you can only dream of my success.

I'd rather dream of Simon Sadler's success at reviving the Mighty.

 

[Recidivist3]

I doubt that or you would be as financially secure as me. You're not in my league.

If ever proof were needed that money doesn’t always buy you happiness

 

[Brazil]

I'd rather dream of Simon Sadler's success at reviving the Mighty.

Good stuff! UTMP!

 

[thedevilsadvocate]

** ugly game but great result. Yates has to be rested now surely ??

 

[TowerPower2022]

Gutted for Evo

Lol

 

[Halifax71]

Apparently the posh pen is a quality dive.

Just seen it in the league one group on Facebook. You'll need to be a member to view. Disgraceful. https://m.facebook.com/groups/leag1...94643356/?fs=2&focus_composer=0&ref=bookmarks

I don't get it. What is this supposed to signify?

 

[tommytwojags]

I expect Oxford and Portsmouth to each win their last game. We definitely need one more point from our two.

 

[thefutureistangerine]

Disgusting pen decision for posh. Awful reffing again

Bloody hell...
